19

I sit with Gabi and Antonio, their mom left a few hours ago

I look over to see Kennedy's eyes open, I jump up

"We need a doctor, she's awake," I say and I see Ethan run

"How long?"

"She just woke up," I say

"Hey, Kennedy does anything hurt?" Ethan asks

She shakes her head no

"I'm guessing you want that the out?" He asks and she nods her head

"Ok well you know the deal," Ethan says and she does what she needs to do

"Ok let me check your heart,"

"Normal," he says smiling

"Kennedy you gave us all quite a scare," Ethan says sitting on the bed

"Sorry," she says in a raspy voice laughing

"Its ok just never again," she nods her head

"Thank you, Ethan," Gabi says hugging him, he hugs back

"I'll go get you some water," Antonio says getting up and walking out of the room

"Kennedy we all miss you down in the ED," Ethan says

"I miss it down there but right now I feel like I should head back to rehab for a month to get the help I need right now," she says looking at her hands

"if its for the best then you should, we can talk to Sharon and make sure you will still have your spot when you get back," he says

"she will," I turn around to see Sharon Goodwin standing in the door

"Thank you," she smiles

"have you called a rehab facility yet?" I ask and she shakes her head and points towards her clothes which were folded on a table in the corner of her room

"Here," Antonio says handing her the water, she takes it taking a big drink

"I have a number to the one I went to before going to Medical school a few years ago," Kennedy says

"Want me to phone for you?" Sharon asks and Kennedy nods her head, I hand her the piece of paper

"Oh, Ah mom was here earlier today she didn't stay for long dad called her asking where she was and she left after they hung up," Gabi says

I sit there, my mom was here

"how long was she here for?" I ask looking at Jay, he'll answer honestly

"2 hours," he says

"oh,"

"How is everyone?" I ask looking at Ethan

"Good, we all miss your smile down there," he says "a bunch of us are going to come up after shift so be ready for a party," he laughs and so do I

"Ok I will," I say looking at him

"You want anything particular to eat or drink?" Sharon asks

"Deep dish pepperoni pizza and a strawberry milkshake," I smile and Sharon nods her head laughing

"Well I should get going got to check on some patients," Sharon says leaving and I nod my head and she heads out

"I'm going to check on my patients, I'll be back later with the pizza and your milkshake," Ethan says grasping my hand and walking out of my room

I smile at Gabi

"what do you want?" she says

"A Jell-O cup," I smile

"you're lucky you are in the hospital Isabella Dawson," I knew she was serious when she said my middle name instead of my first

"I'll be right back, I have to hunt down a Jell-O cup," she says standing up and walking to find a nurse to ask for one

"How is work?' I ask looking at Jay and Antonio

"Uh I don't know I haven't been in since I brought you in 2 days ago," Antonio says kicking his feet up on my bed

"Uh we got a case yesterday gang shooting casuals involved," Jay says

"Then why are you here, go save Chicago I'll be fine Jay, I'm sure Antonio will call you if anything happens, right Antonio?" I look at Antonio and he nods his head looking at me smiling

"you aren't going to tell me to go?" he says

"No I need someone to annoy" I laugh throwing one of my pillows at him laughing

"Why can't you annoy Gabi?" he laughs throwing the pillow back at me laughing

"cause she will hit back, you can't" I laugh sticking my tongue out

"I can stay if you want to get out and work for a bit, You and Gabi stayed the night, be good to get out of here for a bit," Jay says looking at Antonio

"Yah I'm getting a bit sore sitting in this chair all night," he says standing up stretching

"So you're going to work than?" I ask and he nods his head

"I'll see you after I get off Ken," he says kissing my head

"So that leaves two," Jay says sitting at the end of my bed

"yup," I laugh

"Ken, I want to ask you something," Jay says in a serious voice

"Ok," I say sitting up

"Will you go out with me after you get released or after you get out of..."

"Rehab, you can say it, and of course I will," I smile grabbing his hand and pulling him closer, I kiss him and it takes a second for him to kiss back
